I got this 2P set based on the reviews. Really happy with it.

I can't compare them as I haven't used the other brand. I got this 2P set based on the reviews. The buttons have screw rings on the back to tighten it. The easiest part about this set is the encoders. I was gonna a build one out if an Arduino but this is plug and play and saved me countless hours trying to make that work.

I screwed down from the top, and used nuts to hold the joystick. I got this 2P set from Amazon. I mounted it to the inside of the box, screwed through and used drywall hangers as nuts. When I make a wooden one I want to inlay the metal plate so it's flush. The hole for the stick is about the size of a quarter, but the thicker the wood, the shorter the stick will be and I want it longer.
